Solutions

Expert Solution

1.Project X

Payback period= full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/cash flow during the year

= 0 year + $1,000/ $7,000

= 0 year + 0.14

= 0.14 years.

Project Y

Payback period= full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/cash flow during the year

= 2 years + $1,000/ $18,000

= 2 years + 0.06

= 2.06 years.

Based on the payback period method, I will choose Project X since it has the shortest payback period.

2.Project X

Discounted payback period= full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/ discounted cash flow during the year

= 0 year + $1,000/ $6,363.64

= 0 year + 0.16

= 0.16 years.

Project Y

Discounted payback period= full years until recovery + unrecovered cost at the start of the year/ discounted cash flow during the year

= 2 years + $1,000/ 13,523.67

= 2 years + 0.0739

= 2.07 years.

Based on the discounted payback period method, I will choose Project X since it has the shortest discounted payback period.

Profitability index is calculated using the below formula:

Profitability Index= NPV + Initial investment/ Initial investment

Net present value can be solved using a financial calculator. The steps to solve on the financial calculator:

  • Press the CF button.
  • CF0= -$1,000. Indicate the initial cash flow by a negative sign since it is a cash outflow.  
  • Cash flow for each year should be entered.
  • Press Enter and down arrow after inputting each cash flow.
  • After entering the last cash flow cash flow, press the NPV button and enter the interest rate of 10%.
  • Press enter after that. Press the down arrow and CPT buttons to get the net present value.  

Net present value at 10% interest rate is $12,425.9955 $12,426.

Profitability Index= $12,426 + $1,000/ $1,000

= $13,426/ $1,000

= 13.43.

Project Y

Profitability index is calculated using the below formula:

Profitability Index= NPV + Initial investment/ Initial investment

Net present value can be solved using a financial calculator. The steps to solve on the financial calculator:

  • After entering the last cash flow cash flow, press the NPV button and enter the interest rate of 10%.
  • Press enter after that. Press the down arrow and CPT buttons to get the net present value.  

Net present value at 10% interest rate is $12,524.

Profitability Index= $12,524 + $1,000/ $1,000

= $13,524/ $1,000

= 13.52.

Based on the profitability index method, I will choose project Y since it has the largest profitability index.
